Tsaganomyidae

†Tsaganomys †Cyclomylus †Coelodontomys The Tsaganomyidae are an extinct family of rodents from Asia.

[1] Tsaganomyids are generally considered to be related to the Hystricognathi (porcupines and relatives).

[2] Members of Tsaganomyidae were fossorial (digging) rodents that probably used their incisor teeth to dig like some living mole rats.

[3] Tsaganomyids had a protrogomorphous zygomasseteric system, a hystricognathous lower jaw, and multiserial enamel in their incisor teeth.
